Distributed Repositorys over slow links

[weiser]

I currently have one master repository and clients connect to this over the LAN and WAN and update accordingly. This system has worked perfectly fine historically, however, I appreciate bandwidth could be saved over slow links if I was to setup a distributed repository and use Super Agents. In my organisation I have a number of sites with only a 2mb link speed and I was wondering what was the best way of setting up a distributed repository over there for its local clients to use? The issue I have is it will replicate the master repository, which is currently around 80mb in size, to a PC or server over a 2mb link. Is there any better way other than doing it overnight?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have several FTP repositories accross our WAN to reduce bandwidth load. Once the repository has done a full replication once, you can then set up a task to perform incremental replications at your convenience.

If you need help doing this, just ask.

i do incrementals every night and then on a sunday i do a full replication

all my repositories are ftp on netware 6.5 servers
and some are as little as 64k links
works no probs

Thanks both - I'll have to set the initial replication of the repository overnight or at the weekend and then do incrementals nightly as suggested
